2 - User interface-Rotary encoders (ring LEDs) Soft keys At the bottom of a display screen, there may be some "tabs" displayed, which lead to further related screens or pre-defined action. The four keys at the bottom of the screen, beside the PODs, are used as "soft keys" to jump to the screens shown on the "tabs". In this example, the MONITOR and OSC/COM tabs are controlled by soft keys 2 and 3. NOTE It is also possible to jump to the different screens by repeated presses of the key which brings up the screen (in this case, the MONITOR key). These keys are sometimes used to perform a unique "one-off" action, as shown in this screen, where the oscillator can be turned on and off using soft key 1. Soft key pull-up menus In a few screens, for example, the library screens, where many soft keys are used for the "one-off" actions, a soft key (usually soft key 1) is used to bring up a small menu at the bottom of the screen: When such a menu pops up, either the dial or the POD corresponding to the soft key (usually POD 1) is used to select the desired option (which is highlighted in inverse video). Use either the ENTER key or the soft key which was used to pull up the menu to make the selection from the menu. Rotary encoders (ring LEDs) These controls allow you to set commonly-used parameters such as EQ parameters, pan and balance, and Aux send levels. These are not dedicated controls, as the parameters which may be controlled using them are changed using selection keys, but their action is confined to fewer parameters than the POD controls. Like the PODs, these controls are continuously moveable, and have no end-stop. Unlike the PODs, though, the parameters that they control may not necessarily be shown on screen. In order to gain an indication of the current value, the eleven LED indicators arranged in a ring around the knob light to show the current value, as explained in the sections below. These encoders have three different functions: • EQ controls and pan controls to control the EQ settings (gain, frequency and Q) as well as the current channel pan/balance of the currently active module. In this mode none of the encoder indicators (to the left of the encoders) is lit, and the band controlled is determined by the appropriate EQUALIZER key. TASCAM DM-24 Reference Manual 15
